I used to be able to sleep like it was my job. Those days are long gone. Nothing helps me sleep anymore. My THC gummies used to work wonders but the insomnia got worse and now nothing short of xanax helps. I have done all the obvious things…exercise, no caffeine or sugar, winding down earlier at night etc to no avail. Fortunately I work from home so I can catch a brief nap during the day. And yes, I have forgone naps in order to sleep hard the following night–that doesn’t work either. Is there some secret technique, pill, whathaveyou that my menopausal friends know about and can share? Do you have something other than what was mentioned above that works for you. I’d love to know. I’m willing to try.

    I went through it for many years. I’m amazed I’m still functional. I’ve cycled many different sleep herbs in combination with liquid sleep aids. I’m trying to get off the liquid. Wild lettuce, Hops, Magnolia bark, passion flower are the main ones I have used with some success. 5htp as well. Can’t take melatonin, I have the worst and trippiest dreams. What I wouldn’t give for a lifetime supply of Valium.
